The present invention relates to a fluorine-containing resin-insulated electric wire, and particularly to a fluorine-containing resin-insulated electric wire with excellent flexibility. As an insulator for electric wires for various electronic devices such as computers, tetrafluoroethylene resin has excellent high-temperature heat deformation resistance and heat deterioration resistance similar to that of tetrafluoroethylene resin, and can be extruded. Perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether copolymer resins are attracting attention. However, since this resin is extremely hard, electric wires using it as an insulating layer also lack flexibility, which limits the field of application. On the other hand, in response to the recent trend toward smaller and lighter electronic devices, there has been a demand for denser wiring, and there has been a strong demand for more flexibility in electric wires. On the other hand, a conventional fluorine-containing elastomer, that is, a vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene copolymer elastomer, is mixed with the tetrafluoroethylene-perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether copolymer resin to improve flexibility, since it does not reduce heat deterioration resistance. However, due to the poor dispersibility, the mechanical strength would be significantly reduced, making it impossible to put it into practical use. An object of the present invention is to eliminate the drawbacks of the prior art described above and to provide a new fluorine-containing resin insulated wire having sufficient flexibility. That is, the gist of the present invention is to use a tetrafluoroethylene-perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether copolymer resin and a tetrafluoroethylene-propylene copolymer elastomer as an insulator in a ratio of 90/10 to 90/10.
A fluorine-containing resin insulated wire is obtained by extrusion coating a conductor with a composition mixed in a ratio of 60/40. Further, the above-mentioned tetrafluoroethylene-propylene copolymer elastomer has a number average molecular weight of 20,000 to 60,000 in a fluorine-containing resin insulated wire. The reason why the mixing ratio of the tetrafluoroethylene-perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether copolymer resin and the tetrafluoroethylene-propylene copolymer elastomer is specified in the above range is that if the content of the tetrafluoroethylene-propylene copolymer elastomer is within 10%, This is because flexibility cannot be obtained, and if it exceeds 40%, heat deformation resistance, mechanical strength, etc. will decrease significantly. In other words, within 40%, the tetrafluoroethylene-propylene copolymer elastomer is dispersed in the tetrafluoroethylene-perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether copolymer resin matrix, and properties such as heat deformation resistance and mechanical strength depend on the matrix. Although it is controlled by the characteristics of a certain tetrafluoroethylene-perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether copolymer resin, when the content of the tetrafluoroethylene-propylene copolymer elastomer exceeds 40%,
This elastomer becomes a matrix, and the characteristics of this elastomer come out, such as heat deformation resistance,
Mechanical strength decreases significantly. The compositions of the present invention optionally include stabilizers,
There is no problem in adding processing aids, etc. The tetrafluoroethylene-propylene copolymer includes, in addition to the main components tetrafluoroethylene and propylene, components copolymerizable with these,
For example, ethylene, isobutylene, acrylic acid and its alkyl esters, methacrylic acid and its alkyl esters, vinyl fluoride, vinylidene fluoride, hexafluoropropene, chloroethyl vinyl ether, chlorotrifluoroethylene,
It may also contain a suitable amount of perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether or the like. In such a copolymer, the molar ratio of tetrafluoroethylene/propylene is 95/5 to 95/5.
It is preferable to select from the range of 30/70, especially from 90/10 to 45/55, from the viewpoint of heat resistance, moldability, etc., and the content of components other than the main component, which may be added as appropriate, is usually 50 mol%. Below, it is particularly preferable to select from a range of 30 mol% or less. The present invention will be explained based on examples. After kneading a composition consisting of a tetrafluoroethylene-perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether copolymer resin and a tetrafluoroethylene-propylene copolymer elastomer shown in Table 1 using an extruder at 380 to 400°C, a copper wire of 0.26 mm in diameter was mixed. A copper conductor with a cross-sectional area of 2 mm 2 made of 37 strands was coated by extrusion to an insulation thickness of 0.4 mm to produce an insulated wire. (The mixing amounts in the table are expressed in parts by weight.) Table 1 also shows the results of measuring the characteristics of the electric wires in each table.

[Table] Looking at the results, as seen in the examples, those within the scope of the present invention have excellent flexibility and do not lose the heat deformation resistance and heat deterioration resistance inherent to fluorine-containing resins. . On the other hand, in comparative examples in which the content of the tetrafluoroethylene-propylene copolymer elastomer is 40% or more, which is outside the scope of the present invention, even if the flexibility is good, the heat deformation resistance is significantly reduced. When the composition of the present invention is irradiated with radiation such as an electron beam to create crosslinks between polymers, the heat deformation resistance can be further improved. Further, foaming may be carried out by adding a foaming agent. As described above, according to the present invention, it was possible to impart sufficient flexibility to the tetrafluoroethylene-perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether copolymer resin insulated wire without impairing its excellent characteristics.
Considering that this flexibility makes wiring extremely easy in the case of overcrowded wiring, the present invention is considered to have great industrial value.
